The 560K kernel is the framebuffer-scsi 2.2.16 that I compiled.

So, is there any advantage in my case in using Steven's big kernel instead 
of the 2.4.31 customized one, which also does USB?

Is there any difference in output if I compile using kernel 2.2.16 with 
SW71 linuxinc kernel headers, or 2.4.31 with kernel-headers from SW10.2?
Would the later kernel compile programs that the earlier kernel won't, or 
compile faster or slower?
